What should I know about electric roller garage doors in Colne?

Make sure there's a clear spot on the wall inside the garage for the control box, away from shelving or anything stacked in the way.
Check where the override handle would be kept, because you'll need it to open the door by hand during a power cut.
Think about how everyone in the house will open the door, whether by remote fob, wall keypad, key switch or a phone app.
Find out whether there is a socket or fused spur near the top of the opening, since the motor's control box needs a power supply close by.

How does it work in Colne?

After you accept, the fitting date is confirmed in writing, depending on installer and electrician availability. On the day, the door is installed, force tested and handed over with its paperwork.

Rules that apply in Colne

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in England some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.

Powered door safety

Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.

Electric roller garage doors in Colne: questions

Is the survey in Colne really free?

Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.

Can you remove my old garage door in Colne?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Colne address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.

How much do electric roller garage doors cost in Colne?

Our guide price for electric roller garage doors is from £1,195 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Colne as elsewhere we cover.

How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Colne?

Most single domestic roller doors are fitted in a day once the door has been made, including removing the old door. Wider doors, conversions that need building work and jobs where power has to be run can take longer; the quote says what to expect.

Can I add more remotes or a keypad later?

Yes. When you order a new door, you can add extra handsets and a wireless keypad at the prices in your quote. On an existing door, adding or recoding remotes, or changing the receiver, is done on a visit whose price is agreed before we come out. Keep a note of how many handsets you have, so any lost ones can be dealt with.

Why does my electric door start closing and then go back up?

That usually means a safety device thinks something is in the way. Check nothing is in the opening, wipe the photocell lenses and look for damage to the rubber safety edge on the bottom rail. If it keeps happening, stop using the door and ask for a repair visit, which is priced and agreed before anyone comes out.
